81It is clear from case-law that the concept of a ‘restriction which existed on 31 December 1993’ presupposes that the legal provisions relating to the restriction in question have formed part of the legal order of the Member State concerned continuously since that date. If that were not the case, a Member State could, at any time, reintroduce restrictions on the movement of capital to or from non-member States which existed as part of the national legal order on 31 December 1993 but had not been maintained (judgment of 18 December 2007, A, C‑101/05, EU:C:2007:804, paragraph 48).
